Elliot Forbes , known as "El", was an American conductor and musicologist noted for his Beethoven scholarship. He earned a BA in 1941 and an MA in 1947, both in music, and both from Harvard. He studied with Walter Piston, and while he was a graduate student, he was assistant conductor of the Harvard Glee Club. From 1947 to 58, he taught at Princeton University, but in 1958 he returned to Harvard and remained there for the rest of his life as Fanny Peabody Professor of Music (and, after 1984, Professor Emeritus.)
